The Peaks

(album: Some Songs With Some Friends - 2013)

So they came, one by one
There was never any warning
Blood out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long
And I saw the whole rise
I saw the whole thing fall, down
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out

And I'm left holding my head, looking down at every grave
With all millennia passed, just a flicker and a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow old

Cross the peaks, cross the marsh, cross your fingers for the last time
Pass out the blame to someone, never stepping up, son
And nobody's asking why is your head bent down? So?
There's trillions lost, I'm dreaming of a different time

And I'm left holding my head, looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass, just a flicker and a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
And I've seen more towers come down than children grow up

And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave
With all millennia pass, just a flicker and a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow old
